Things to consider are:

Help the New Activity Chairman establish goals and timeline for their Activity

Act as an advisor to the New Activity Chairman and his Assistant Chairman to get their Activity up and running

Stay in touch with the New Activity Chairman and be responsive to his needs

After the New Activity Chairman is able to lead their Activity on his own, have a closing meeting to evaluate both your experiences.

How to become an Advisor

The Activity Coordinating Committee (ACC) will annually review the list of Advisors and decide if a call for additional volunteers is needed. If a call is put out, the ACC will review the list of resulting new volunteers and determine how many and who will be added to the Advisor list.
